A Pittsburg special to the Philadelphia Fres,

Malachis church, created another sensation Sun.

he would resign his position as principal OF the
Thirty third ward public schools. Before making
the statement the reverend gentleman declared he
had been so frequently misrepresented by the
newspapers that he had now committed his re
marks TO paper, and II again misrepresented he
would thus have proof In black and white. He
read from the paper bitter denunciation OF the
sisters 81 Charity, who were undergoing examina-
ton for teachers certificates and announced that
the nuns were 50 mortified over the publicity given

In the evening Father McTighe had reconsid-
cred his determination, begged the newspapers to
make no mention OF what he had said In the
morning, and declared that he would fight the
matter out to the end. He will not attempt to in
troduce nuns In the schools as teachers, but says
he will get Catholic females who do not belong TO
any order. Some OF the newspapers went into
minute descriptions OF the nuns and the sisters

Her George F1M,,hrd.

They came up stairs into a dentists
office. They were lovers. She had her
Grecian jaw tied up in a handkerchief,
and one of her pearly molars was ach-
ing away with fifteen-horse power.
He was pale, and little shivers ran up
and down his back.
"cSow, George, you said you would"
she observed as the dentist approached.
George turned palor yet, and his chin
wouldn't hold still to be wiped off. He
had rashly promised his daisy that if
she would consent to have the aching
tooth drawn he would have a sound
molar extracted just to prove to her
that it wouldn't hurt.
"Now, George" she continued, as she
laid aside her wrap and bonnet.
"I'll have it out in moment, T" added
the dentist, as he arranged his chair.
Would George funk? Shivers seized
him. His hair crawled. His knees
wouldn't stand still. He braced him
self and tried to smile, but his legs
wobbled, his smile went down behind
his collar, and with a groan Of despair
he turned and clattered down stairs.
She will be lonely for time, but she'll
hide it from the world while she looks
out for chap with some sand to him.

"Look at old Mr.. Blank! Why he is
the picture of melancholy! tell you
that religion is damper to mans
spirit, and makes life dull and dreary.
Holy men are always moping. 80
said q youth who wanted to excuse
himself from attending to the concerns
of his soul. 1 called him to me and
babe him stand still awhile, and hear
how we'll I could practice the art OF
reasoning after his own manner. Then
[ said to him, II know Tourist, WHO
lust now wears deep mourning for his
deceased wife; therefore flowers are
wretched objects, and all florists are
w;dowers. I know draper who for
time carries his arm in sling; there
fore silks and cottons have a whitening
effect upon the limbs, and all MERGERS
are men of one arm" The ingenious
youth co1ld bear it no longer. He
cried, "Nonsense Yet 1 had only
plowcd with his heifer, and used his
own logic. Icould have proved a great
number of absurditics in the same way,
but he had not the patience to endure
more of it. The fact is that some few
believers are of a gloomy constitution,
or have declined in grace, and these
are solely sad; but the rule remains
that the way of goodness is the way of
peace, and he that labors to be holy is
in the road to being happy. The ex-
cuse made by ungodly men, that
religion would make them miserable, is
so bad an excuse that is worse than
none. To excuse our rebellion against
God by slandering his people, and
libcll;ng his service, is to add sin to sin.
